Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I did travel together on committee business, and it was an excellent trip.
What I would like to say is that each municipal police force is responsible for its own budget. The provinces were consulted in this whole process. From that standpoint, the provinces were quite fine with the way the program was being laid out. They are on board. The municipal police forces, through their cities or municipalities, must provide the appropriate funding for police services.
It is not necessarily up to the federal government to provide funding for anyone other than federal agencies.
